Title: Dumb as a Stump!!! Object Editor
Post by: pokie on March 21, 2005, 09:08:34 PM

I don't know if I'm just too tired to be looking at the Object Editor and 3D Canvas right now or I'm just Dumb as a Stump!

I'm missing something...........

3D Canvas

File/Open -------------- *.3dc and *.3do files

File/Export -------------- .pov files

File/Import -------------- .x files

File/Save As ............... *.3DC files

_____________________________ ___

AH2 Object Editor

File/Open ------------------  *.til files

File/Save As ---------------  *.til files

File/Build ------------------- *.shp files

File/Convert Ac3d File ----------- *.shp files

_____________________________ _____

I don't see how I can get an object from 3D Canvas and load it into the OE

Also

I don't see how I can take an object from the OE and load it into 3D Canvas to look at it.  Something as simple as str4 which looks like a box.

I guess I'm too tired and better goto bed.

If someone can shed some light on this I would be greatly appreciated.

I dunno if 3D Canvas will work with the OE, Im pretty clueless with editing objects.

To get a file from AC3D to the OE:
- Click File
- Convert AC3D File
- Close the OE
- Open the OE
- Object you just loaded should appear in object list

To get a .til file from the OE to become a .ac file:
- Open OE
- Select the object you wish to convert
- On the right control panel of the OE click "Convert to AC3D"
- Saves it in the export folder in ah2edit folder as a .ac file

if you can't use an object in the 3D Canvas program and use this program to make a file that the AH2 Object Editor can open?
